Paninistickers

I think back in the 60s county played at brush sports. The ground I'm referring to is on the uni campus, tho set aside and quite locked off by a tree lined perimeter. It looks to all intents and purposes a first class ground, albeit without any spectator stands.

I love an outground. Home or away. English cricket at its best. Kibworth was fantastic last year. I've loved Oakham. Pity we don't use Hinckley anymore for the Warwickshire match as we used to. Always slightly surprised we don't use Loughborough Uni. The pitch is prepped to first class standards.

Will pop a donation in now. I've said here before,.I ain't a 'do-er' but I really wanna support those who do 'do'

That free kick at Everton. Beat Ive ever seen scored for City

When was the last time Leicester / Leicestershire had any major infrastructure investment from central government? I think the Bede Island area was done by City challenge but I wouldn't call that infrastructure. I guess prior to that was the 1960s ring road vandalism. Anything else has been small pots here and there to tart up paving stones, smooth out road junctions or build cycle lanes - nothing major. Nottingham and Sheffield got hundreds of millions for the tram network but they used private finance initiative to top up the government money. Salford Quays done up courtesy of government money. Albert Dock. Cardiff docks. Why don't we go balls deep with an idea and get hold of some money?

Agree with the Muzz goal. It was only a minute after we'd scored our first. Thrilling. And we chucked it away. Newcastle at home at Xmas was galling, we were much the better side and they equalised last kick of game (Darren Ambrose) Edit Southampton first game too..we were 2-0 up and drew.

Yes, that's it. I was trying to say the same to the previous poster....Sturridge went down when Adams was assistant ...he wasn't with us when Adams went down as boss, who played with Bent, Ferdinand, Deane and Dickov. I think, Bent and Sir Les got 15+ goals apiece that season ...and we went down!

Oh dear, poor fella. Proper clued up on Leicester culture; music, betting on the nags, to boxing, to boozing, to local football and of course the City. He'd struggled for a while though after his stroke and was very melancholic a lot of the time.

You mean when he was assistant? When Basset was in charge? No way Sturridge would've displaced Deane, Dickov, Ferdinand and Bent. That was a very decent front line to call upon and all way ahead if Sturridge.

I don't have any idea of the etiquette in acquiring government funding, but that letter seems very limp. You can tell these people have never worked in business. Where's the urgency?. What's the next step (the letter cedes control of the situation to government)? Where's the suggestions of pots of finance? Why no buzzwords ticked like NW Leicestershire will help 'secure private investment'?

I've always felt unsafe there. Maybe subconscious as I despise the place anyway. Manchester too. Yet both are chocka with naive students. I've done my time on nights out and Leicester is an awkward enough place to learn how to watch your back on a night out, yet I'm intimidated in both those cities yet innocent students merrily flock there.

Oh come on, I know we'll never agree on the seriousness of COVID or the reaction to it, but 'brutal act of nature' is stretching it a bit. The Indonesian tsunami. AIDS. Bubonic Plague. Ebola. That recent hurricane in Mexico. Aggressive stomach cancers. Yup, brutal. A flu like illness that causes a week or so of sub par health for 99% of people?

I agree and have told him with e scooters and e bikes, there's no real need for a car 98% of the time Exactly that. When he gets a lift with some bonehead driver mate, I'm always like FFS, do you have to?

Ive had it in one form or another all over, though I do prompt it sometimes..Last month I asked a Malaysian taxi driver who was well into his football which player he most associated with us. Vardy was the instant reply.

My eldest is learning to drive and he knows I'm not overkeen....I try to keep sowing with him that cars need respect and I personally don't think (male) teenagers are capable of that kinda respect (that's not a dig at the poor lads involved btw, just a reminder that cars and kids aren't a reassuring mix)

I dunno. That area is grotesque..it needs a.spruce up and ideally and the city needs a much better,. freindlier link from st Margaret's (which is better connected to the city centre nowadays) to abbey park

Apols, badly articulated on my part. The point I was (badly) trying to make was that flightradar is pretty accurate. I imagine they would refer to EMA as Nottingham only if the CAA acknowledged that...and the CAA might only.do that .if the airport wanted it. The (long winded) point being that MAG can go whistle if they are intent on changing the name incrementally. It's childish I know, but I won't use an airport with their name in it.. As an aside, i use Brum 90% of the time anyway as EMA is only of use for holiday flights Eidt. Anyways, I've derailed the thread enough and worse still, managed to attract the dreaded high peak fox. Back to porn!

Thanks. As is aid, was happy to be corrected on that. The media however ALWAYS reported the figures as deaths who had had COVID in the last 30 days

Lewis Dunk has been successfully upskilled at Brighton to perform that role. And, undoubtedly, promotion would see us needing to defend deep far more often in the nature of Newcastle away. And as you say, those sides that like to use a big man to play off it - Forest, Brentford, West Ham amongst others - Souttar is far better equipped than Vesty

I was stuck at home under house arrest , illegally seeing family and friends and doing Zoom quizzes

I happily stand corrected on this, but don't death certificates refer to that?. The counting procedure for Covid meant that you could die of head injuries in a car accident and it still counted as a COVID death if you'd had it in the last 30 days

Of course, it's not clear to me how many people actually died of covid in the UK. Dying with it, I accept the 250k number (or whatever it was)....but dying of it? Hmmmm. Will the inquiry look at the number count method?

Quite a tangent you've gone off on there. Fwiw, I ain't a 'personal freedom' looney. Climate change for me is a real world threat. Far far more than what was imo, the sniffles for 99.5% of people. COVID measures will I'm sure go down in history as an extraordinary overreaction.

What would you call it then mate? If it quacks, walks, looks like a duck etc

I don't think the discussion is just a financial cost)benefit analysis...though that's part of it (just as the NHS won't fund, say, certain cancer treatments on the basis of cost) The equation that needs reviewing was the decision to place 60 million under house arrest for months saved how many patients? How many of those 60 million died of something else because of house arrest? How many elderly would've died anyway?
